Line 4:
So why is he sneaking about with secrets? [[Aesop Amnesia]]?
Nah, just bad habits. One of his [[True Companions]] just has to remind him of the [[Power of Friendship]] and the [[The Power of Trust]]. Let it be known that his mistrust is hurtful. Distinguishable from [[Aesop Amnesia]] in that they do not have to learn the lesson over again; the reminder often suffices, for an explanation of secrecy if not an actual explanation.
A form of [[Character Development]] more realistic than simple [[Epiphany Therapy]] at that.
Line 33:
** In ''Blood Pact'', when Curth stumbles on the secret transmitter, she wonders why they kept it so secret. Hark explains that he was trying to keep it secret as possible, so they wouldn't be hurt by knowing.
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', at one point, Ramirez reminds Harry that they're [[Fire-Forged Friends]] and tells him that he knows he's keeping secrets from him
* In Steve Parker's ''[[Warhammer
* In [[Dorothy L. Sayers]]' ''Busman's Honeymoon'', Harriet tells Bunter to tell [[Lord Peter Wimsey]] that she is sitting up the night of the execution. In due course, he shows up, apologetic for having—he admits—forgotten.
* Happens repeatedly in the ''[[Mistborn]]'' series, as the protagonist Vin is extremely paranoid thanks to [[Street Urchin|her upbringing]]. Then it gets turned around a bit in the last book; {{spoiler|Vin can't talk about her plans or else [[Big Bad|Ruin]] will hear, so Elend has to just trust that she'll make the right choices}}.
